Christmas
Dinner - 1957Base H - Signy Island Antarctica

Christmas is an odd time on base as it comes
in the middle of the Austral summer and at a time of 24 hour daylight or
not far off 24 hours. Midwinter on the 21st of June is the real celebration
in Antarctica being more like the conditions we in the northern hemisphere
associate with Christmas - but more so!

This picture is one of a collection assembled in
2007 on the 60th anniversary of Signy Island Base: 60°43'S 045°36'W.
Thank you to those who sent their treasured memories of their time in
Antarctica and allowed them to be made into a commemorative cd and then
placed here on the web.
